karaoke party!

Who: Lucia and you!
What: Karaoke Party Time
When: Fall 20
Where: Cozy Kitchen
Warnings: n/a for now

[ On Fall 15th, a notice goes up on the noticeboard advertising a karaoke party at Cozy Kitchen on Fall 20th. It may be easy to miss with all of the pirate chaos, but Lucia will put a sign at the front of the restaurant to remind her fellow farmers of the event.

When Fall 20th rolls around, the smell of Lucia's food can be smelled from outside in town square. One may also catch another redhead bringing alcohol from his winery into the restaurant, or people from the other neighboring bar moving equipment into Cozy Kitchen. When everything's said and done, the restaurant is left with a nice evening setup. It's a small-ish space but there is plenty of food and alcohol for people to indulge in, as well as non-alcoholic drinks like tea and water. The karaoke machine is set up, and there are board games from the store that people can play while they're here.

People are free to sing, open mic style, as many times as they'd like. At some point during the party, however, Lucia will make it a point to play some slower songs on the machine and cite that it's been a while since the dance in Spring. Now might be a good chance to get one last dance in with someone before Winter hits! Finally, party games will be inevitable, so go ahead and participate or run your own.

[Syrlya doesn't really respond as Trahearne talks, but he is listening. This is what he wanted after all. Even if it hurts. It's as Mishka said, he looks deeply into everything Syrlya does and says. How many wrong moves has he made that have unintentionally sent Trahearne into a spiral? Is he--

That thought cuts off as he realizes the timeline, straightening up with wider eyes at the memory of Mishka, wooing him at the meeting. A dream about loving you was--actually shared from Trahearne?

... That actually makes a lot more sense, all in all. But he sure did kiss him like he meant it.

Syrlya shakes his head, reaching for Trahearne's hand as he comes to a stop. Waits for him to turn and focus on Syrlya as he stares up with a serious expression.]


Trahearne, I am going to make you my priority. [Nobody else will matter. If that means he has to push Adelis away to protect Trahearne's heart then...

then...

...]


I love you, and I intend to show you that until there isn't a doubt in your mind that I'm yours.

[ Trahearne stops when his hand is grabbed, and his gaze slowly lowers to look at Syrlya.

Hearing him say I love you will always have a special sort of power over him; if he had a heart, it would have skipped a beat.

His tone, though, startles him a little. ]


I love you, too, Syrlya. [ There's something about his tone, his demeanor, that does not bode well in his mind. He frowns.

But he squeezes his hand, a sign of reassurance, and, in a way, trust. ]


I just--I just wanted to tell you where I'm coming from. Even though I realise it's irrational. And that I have no reason to have ever let these doubts consume me.

[ He purses his lips. ]

Please don't hurt yourself, or Adelis. I don't want that.

I'm not. [He'll be honest. Adelis does not share his feelings, and so he does not think it will hurt him if Syrlya needs to draw some distance. If he tells Adelis his full feelings... it would probably make him more comfortable if Syrlya can squash them, too. Isn't a bit awkward when that kind of thing comes to light?

Perhaps he can't completely avoid hurting himself. But that, he tucks close to his chest before Trahearne finds it as something to blame himself for, too.]


I'm glad you told me. I want you to be open with me. It helps me know if I have unwittingly hurt you in some way.

[ Trahearne's face cracks into a wry smile at that. He tugs on Syrlya's hand to draw him closer. ]

When I think about it, it feels more as though I'm finding ways to hurt myself.

[ Creating roadblocks for himself...much like he did his Wyld Hunt. And a lot of other things in his life. ]

I will...try to be better. I... I think you're perfect, Syrlya. I love you just the way you are.

[ All your pain and your flaws--everything. ]

[Ah, there's that word again. Perfect. He knows he doesn't live up to it. It always makes it a little hard to hear.

So his hand snakes up, to cradles Trahearne's face as he stands on his toes to kiss him. Perhaps, just to silence him.]

[ Trahearne will work to get him to believe that. Because it is the sum of all his parts that makes him who he is.

But this just serves as positive reinforcement. Trahearne leans into the kiss, hands resting on Syrlya's hips.

And when he pulls back, his eyes are softer, a lot of the emotional distress from earlier gone. ]


You are kindhearted, and I know you care deeply for those around you. Adelis is your friend. If he trusts you to help him, then you should.

[Kisses cure all.

Syrlya offers a faint smile. This is a start. He can fix things. He can keep Adelis as just a friend without hurting Trahearne.

He's got an idea.

But that discussion will wait another day. For now... he actually, really does just want to go home.]
